Congratulations @MissSB18 !! That's such lovely news! Wishing you a sticky bean!
I'm out this month 😕 After completely convincing myself this was my month - AF reared her ugly head on Monday night. I was so upset 😥I had some really different-for-me symptoms - headache (for two days solid! but I took nothing for it just in case) lightheaded/dizzy, nauseous, frequent peeing, not interested in food (very unusual for me! 😅) extremely aching legs, all the way down rather than just thighs like AF gives, and no usual AF symptoms like rage! I POAS three times (just ICs) on 9, 10 and 11 DPO and all were negative but I convinced myself they were cheap and crap (75p for 3 from Home Bargains - think I was right there!) and that it was too early. I was so convinced I had decided to wait until Wednesday (today) to test as that would be 14DPO and AF was due (also going to a Spa tomorrow so wanted to know in case there were things I shouldn't do like sauna). I was so sure I would get a positive but it turns out I didn't even get to go that far and the witch arrived 12DPO. It was so light to begin with I hoped it was implantation spotting (even though I knew that couldn't be the case if I was already having all those "symptoms") but it got worse over night and is 100% AF. So disappointed, we tried SMEP this month and it was such a lot of effort but we did it perfectly and I really thought it might make the difference we need (been trying on and off for 3 years, but with bouts of illness and so not trying here and there)
I'm 42, I just don't know if its even worth all this heartache anymore if it's never going to happen 😕I drove myself mad this month, its been horrible getting excited but nervous and then all for nothing. I guess we will keep trying and hope for the best but I HAVE to go easier on myself next month and try not to symptom spot. I guess should be easier this time as AF is due on Christmas Day so there will be lots of distractions. Really hoping the Grinch doesn't deliver AF that day!! 😆
Anyway - I had my pity party yesterday, drank a bit too much wine and feeling it today. So onwards and upwards, back to treating my body nicely and making it a lovely place for a baby to get tucked in! I was sad yesterday, but my husband made me laugh - he bought me a bunch of flowers on his way home from work to cheer me up, but he put them on the roof of the car as he fumbled with his keys/phone/coffee etc and then drove off with them still on the roof!! So no flowers for me but it did really make me laugh and I think that is worth 10 bunches of flowers 😁
Wishing everyone else who is still in with a chance this month lots of baby dust!
Sorry for the long ramble, I just feel better getting everything out of my head and don't want to burden hubby/friends with my thoughts all the time, they must be sick of me!!
